We had the good fortune of connecting with Karissa Rose and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Karissa, is there a quote or affirmation that’s meaningful to you?
Yes!!! Everything Happens For A Reason is what I live by each and everyday. I constantly tell all my supporters and everyone around me. Many times in life things happen and at the time we can’t understand why or how this would happen so we all just have to believe that there is something bigger and one day we will hopefully understand. This allows me to live each day knowing I will be at peace living by that mantra.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I am so beyond excited to announce that I will be releasing my podcast, “Everything Happens for a Reason” very soon. I can not wait to show the world and especially my age group what really goes on behind the scenes and that not everything you see on social media is true. It has definitely not been the easiest journey but I am so thankful to have experienced all the good and bad up to this point because it has truly made me look at life differently and I just love helping people and letting everyone know that it’s going to be ok.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If my best friend came to visit for a week I would take a train with her and go up and down the coast and stop at all the towns along the way. We would vlog the entire trip, get Starbucks everyday, go swimming, run in the ocean and try all the local restaurants, eat ice cream, and make tik toks. Of course we would be starting in Los Angeles and hitting up Saddle Ranch to meet up with all my friends for a fun first night and eating at Boa for a nice intimate dinner with the best food and a great way to end our week.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I want to dedicate this to all my family, friends, and team that I am constantly pushed and supported by. Having a good positive group of people around you at all times that want nothing but the best for you definitely makes a huge difference on this crazy journey of life.
